E-signature platform makes it easy for financial institutions to compliantly capture digital signatures and deliver a consistent user experience to their customers

Wolters Kluwer today announced the release of Wolters Kluwer E-Sign, the newest version of its compliant e-signature and secure document transfer platform, for highly regulated industries, including financial services. The platform enables financial institutions to send documents electronically and securely to customers for review and their digital signature. Wolters Kluwer E-Sign expands the usability controls for financial institutions and their customers to execute electronic signatures through its new “mobile first" user interface.

The new user interface provides financial institutions and their customers with a familiar look and feel to make it easier to manage and view financial documents. It also improves consumers’ accessibility to Wolters Kluwer E-Sign across device types, from smartphones to tablets, through responsive design. Consumers can access the SaaS-based platform from these and other devices through the internet. For financial institutions, the new user interface offers customization options and using REST API the ability to integrate the platform with their website to deliver a consistent brand experience to their customers.

These new features, including challenge question user authentication, and audit support for e-signed documents and electronic packages help make Wolters Kluwer E-Sign one of the easiest to deploy and manage e-signature platforms for financial institutions of all sizes.

"We selected Wolters Kluwer E-Sign because it gives us the flexibility to meet our members’ current and future needs,” said Karen Savickas Mathias, operations manager at Southwest Research Center Federal Credit Union. "As a small credit union, to stay competitive against bigger banks, we strive to provide a personalized experience to all of our members – inside or outside of our brick and mortar locations. Wolters Kluwer E-Sign will help us provide a turnkey solution, with secure email and e-signature, to our members.”

"Our research has found 62% of retail banking executives are considering investments in digital signature software,” said Nicole Sturgill, principal executive advisor with CEB TowerGroup. “The technology, the third newest in banks today, gives financial institutions a solid foundation for delivering remote banking services. The biggest challenge to deployment for banks is ensuring the proper compliance protocols are in place. Without them, complying with regulatory requirements becomes a significant hurdle to a successful deployment.”
